“Hay momentos como caminar por el desierto, otros como besar el cielo. Quédate con lo verdadero, nunca sabemos lo que tenemos”
It is with a heavy heart that we wish to inform you of the tragic death of one of our dearest participants, Chayanne S.F., of the organisation Carabutsi, an associate partner from Barcelona. He suffered a fatal accident while swimming with two friends in Bitola.
The emergency medical services at the scene made every effort to help, but unfortunately they could not save our friend. We learned that Chayanne had an aneurysm, which caused bleeding in the brain and led to drowning while he was in the pool.
Chayanne was only 22 years old and his sudden death has shocked us deeply. Our thoughts are with the affected families, organisations and communities. We share our grief and condolences with them.
We would also like to thank our participants and the entire team for being together during the beautiful and difficult moments during our music camp in Bitola, which was marked by this tragedy. We were one group and were there for each other. We cried together, hugged, reminisced, played music and created artworks to honour Chayanne. It did us good to share this together.
Words fail us. Chayanne, we miss you, we love you.
